        Dilution is a must - the quantity you drink is up to you - but dilute it to saturation. Regards Nish (still very much hung over from last night) X|

          I may be a bit hungover tomorrow, as I've had more beer tonight than I have in a long time, but I doubt it. I haven't had a hangover in 25 years. It's still good advice, though; I guzzle a half to a full gallon of water a day as a matter of habit. Booze dehydrates the human body - my wrinkles are proof of that. It also depletes the body of all water-soluble vitamins, so I strongly recommend that if you drink the stuff you take a decent multivitamin tablet before you go to bed. Take it with a large glass of water, too, to help with the rehydration you're going to need in the morning anyway. Dilution while drinking defeats the purpose - I was drinking with a purpose tonight, and as usual, there is a woman involved. My purpose was to eradicate the pain she is causing me, and it worked admirably. I even managed to craft a loving and accepting email to her and send it. I'm rather proud of that accomplishment. I may follow up with flowers tomorrow, but I know better than to do any online ordering when I'm drinking. We'll see... Go ahead and dilute, my friend, but I can guarantee, especially if you decide to marry, that there will be times when you don't want your drinks diluted. Hopefully those times will be few and far between; I happen to think that they will be very rare, but I have been known to be wrong. Anyway, the key to survival as a drinker is to drink a lot of water and take a lot of vitamins. Try it - you'll feel a lot better...

                I feel like I haven't most mornings anyway. :sigh: (I'm a night person, my natural waking time is 10am till 3am, not 7am till 1am which I mostly have to have... A shift of just a few hours totally throws me out for days.)

                  Nish, Nish, Nish...dilution? Pah! If you must dilute, dilute in your stomache with food and water, don't dilute your drinks, that way lies madness (or something bad ;)).

                    Ahhh..that's the beauty of working from home. I've been waking up and going to sleep any time I feel like it for over 5 years now and strangely enough I usally always wake up somewhere between 7 and 8 am and always go to sleep somewhere between 10pm and midnight depending upon how good the book is that I'm currently reading in bed. (aside from the occasional late night partying on weekends of course) I don't know how in the world you guys cope with coding all day to someone else's schedule, that would kill any creative juices and make it soul sucking work for me. I wouldn't last a month in a cubicle with meetings, surrounded by dead-eyed corporate lackeys...ugh! X|

                      I may be a bit hungover tomorrow, as I've had more beer tonight than I have in a long time, but I doubt it. I haven't had a hangover in 25 years. It's still good advice, though; I guzzle a half to a full gallon of water a day as a matter of habit. Booze dehydrates the human body - my wrinkles are proof of that. It also depletes the body of all water-soluble vitamins, so I strongly recommend that if you drink the stuff you take a decent multivitamin tablet before you go to bed. Take it with a large glass of water, too, to help with the rehydration you're going to need in the morning anyway. Dilution while drinking defeats the purpose - I was drinking with a purpose tonight, and as usual, there is a woman involved. My purpose was to eradicate the pain she is causing me, and it worked admirably. I even managed to craft a loving and accepting email to her and send it. I'm rather proud of that accomplishment. I may follow up with flowers tomorrow, but I know better than to do any online ordering when I'm drinking. We'll see... Go ahead and dilute, my friend, but I can guarantee, especially if you decide to marry, that there will be times when you don't want your drinks diluted. Hopefully those times will be few and far between; I happen to think that they will be very rare, but I have been known to be wrong.

                                    Nah mate, I have had both plenty of migrains and hangovers. And the migrains are by far the worse. Note: one reason I don't drink now is because I suspect it might cause a migraine. Regardz Colin J Davies The most LinkedIn CPian (that I know of anyhow) :-)
